A Brief Intermission

Posted on Monday, May 5, 2008 by Registered CommenterCatana | Comments1 Comment

Or not so brief. I'm having a hard time thinking about giftedness issues lately -- just too many other things buzzing around in my head. But I will get back to the There to Here series.

In the meantime... I just dropped into the Davidson forum, as I do now and then and discovered that Linda Silverman's Upside Down Brilliance is now out of print, and people are jacking up the price outrageously. I bought a copy some time back, and now I'm thinking seriously about copying the material I'll need for references and then putting it up for sale on half.com.

Since I'm not teaching or raising kids, most of the book is really no use to me. I never pass up a chance to turn over an investment at a profit, but I hate gouging people. Any ideas about a fair price, keeping in mind that it's currently going for $60.00 and up?

I used to be a used book peddler, and honestly, a fair price is one that people are willing to pay. The question isn'that sellers are selling the book for 60, what are buyers paying? just because people are listing it for that much doesn't mean people are buying copies at that price.

Wherever you sell it, just list it for a little less than the lowest price for it's condition, and don't worry about it all that much. Remember, your buyer could always go to the library.
